Hermes horology department has started this year with a bang (quite literally). A timepiece, called Arceau Chrono Titane, a very major addition to the already iconic ‘Arceau’ collection. That is, due to its contemporary design, casing material, unusually large (for Hermes) size and the functionality you would be getting for quite an affordable price. Design, […]

Sometimes a party just comes together out of nowhere. Nobody has planned anything but the stars align, and it’s pure hedonism all the way till brunch the next day (where the strong have a Bloody Mary and start again). Sometimes a shindig is planned to the most minute detail, and the life is sucked right […]

Is it a bird?! Is it a plane?! No, it’s a social media influencer in a gyrocopter! I don’t know who’s idea it was to let Anish fly a gyrocopter over the desert metropolis of Dubai, but my guess is that person wasn’t going about their business on the streets below. In fact my suspicion […]

The smart watch for smart travellers Louis Vuitton have been bringing convenience and luxury to the journeys of the great and the good since 1854. The most iconic example of this is undeniably the steamer trunks that criss crossed the globes on the cruise liners and Pullman railway cars of a more glamorous era of […]

We love getting our desert on, so when our friends at Roger Dubuis asked us to go and take some photos of their beautiful watches in all of the settings that Dubai has to offer, we packed our sunscreen and headed to the gulf! Over a series of posts we’re going to share with you […]

Full disclosure; I’m a pretty big fan of Zenith, so I was a little concerned when the buzz in the bars and cigar clubs of Basel was that the new Defy El Primero 21 Chrono was a departure from the status quo. Industry people who’d visited Zenith’s booth, complete with old time barber and shoe […]

SEVENFRIDAY S1/01 The team at SEVENFRIDAY have once again come up with something a little different in an industry that can sometimes be a little repetitive. The S1/01 is an homage to industrial processes without abandoning a sense of luxury or environmental responsibility. The animation ring on this piece, which is SF speak for the […]

Montblanc Summit Ordinarily when we write about watch brand collaborations they are almost exclusively with car companies. It has a well worn synergy. One lends the other a sense speed, the other in return, a sense of precision for measuring that speed. The Montblanc Summit is not a car collaboration. It is […]

Girard Perregaux Laureato I’m going to perform a magic trick, I’m going to guess exactly what you’re thinking. “That’s just a Royal Oak wannabe” Was I right? Was that what you were thinking? On some level it’s an understandable observation, but one we at Watch Anish are not prepared to agree with. […]
